2100 Productions

Twentyonehundred (2100) productions is InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's multimedia team. We serve InterVarsity staff and students by helping them communicate ideas effectively and with excellence.

Today's college students are part of a fast-paced, sophisticated, and highly visual media culture. Our mission is to create and use media to influence the hearts and minds of students in the university world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As part of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, we want to encourage students to follow Jesus as Savior and Lord, understand themselves and their culture more clearly, and live responsibly in relation to God, creation and other people. Using video, photography, design and story-telling, 2100 translates biblical ideas to visually rich media so that students can receive and interact with the good news through contemporary channels in a compelling, credible, and clear voice.
